You can't ask government to be infallible, but you can ask it to be accountable."
~Michael Faraday (Jeff Bridges)
Arlington Road
1999
How much do you know about your neighbors? Do you ever wonder if you know a genuine domestic terrorist? Is there one live among them? Do you think it's possible for you to know a domestic terrorist when you see one? Honestly, I do scan my own neighborhood, but not so much for what my neighbors are up to, I do it because of the biggest, and scariest domestic terrorists of all... our own country! This movie was made in 1999, and more than likely was inspired by the likes of Timothy McVeigh and the Unabomber, and the movie definitely parallels life in the late 90's but strays only in who the big bad is, back when we still counted on government to keep us safe. In today's life, I feel like I am on my own, and if I ever see ICE or some other government agency harming my neighbor, I will be there as soon as possible, filming every single moment of it! After the murders of Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, and the character assassination doled out by Kristi Noem, characterizing them as Domestic Terrorists, I say count me in! If that makes me one as well, so be it, and now, I guess, if you are reading this post, congratulations, you now know a domestic terrorist!
